We recently had a blowout on our 5th wheel and called GS Roadside Assistance for help. It was 10:00 P.M. on a Saturday night. When the mechanic arrived it was with a four-year old tire (manufacture date stamped on the side of the tire) and our cost was $393 just for the tire and $128 mounting fee (other fees also applied). I called GS later and got about $160 taken off of our $600 bill. Still, what a rip-off. I won't be renewing my GS Roadside Assistance plan.
If you accepted the tire. It is on you. All you had to say was that you want a new tire, and you should have done that during the first call. The mechanic is going to bring you what he has in stock. I doubt he even looked at the build date.
Next question that begs to be asked. Why didn't you have a spare with you??? Never leave home with out at least one.
